I was soooo tired this morning. It was a long week, and I was so glad to see Friday. We had some friends over for dinner the night before and I was up late cleaning everything afterwards. The next morning I just picked out something quick and easy to wear. Thus, not quite imaginative, but […]
Category: Stuff I made
It seems pretty rare these days when a woman has long hair, and then even moreso if she knows how to actually style it. The ability to style long hair seems to have been lost since the advent of feminism and women’s ability to cut it all off. My hair has been long most of my […]
I was actually able to get some shots before work this morning. Amazing! Of course, I still had to dress my prone daughter and threaten to take away cartoons if she didn’t start moving…but I had enough time to get some quick pictures. As you can probably see, I have a fairly static number of […]
Oh the grayness that has been in our skies…however, I don’t mind gray when I’m taking photos. I just need to figure out how to take photos before the end of the day and I’m all wrinkly. Unfortunately, getting my daughter out of bed in the morning is like waking a hibernating bear. I just don’t […]
It has been so dreary here the past week or so. Rain, rain…please go away! The ponds are flooded and are new flowers are sitting in inches of water. I hope they survive. At least there is no watering needed. I had to try to stay on dry ground for these photos, so I am […]
These light colors are perfect for a Friday in the summertime. Light and airy. I just wish I didn’t look so “fluffy” in this outfit. Note to self: Don’t wear clothes that accentuate your lack of waistline. It doesn’t look good. I have gained a few pounds in the last month or so. When we got […]
I took some time fitting the top to this outfit. Normally when I sew I just kind of make it up as I go. I wanted this to work, though. It still isn’t perfect, but overall the fit works fairly well. I really like this color purple on me. It brings out my coloring. The […]
This was a Mother’s Day present to me. I made this on Mother’s Day as I was given many hours of uninterrupted sewing time. This is a dress that I drafted myself. I had to make a few modifications, but in the end I really like how it turned out. It fits my body well, […]
This skirt was a fail in the sewing department. The seams are bunchy and the hem is uneven. Still…I wanted to wear it at least once since I spent so much time on the making of it. I should have just cut a simple skirt on the bias and that would have worked so much […]
This was a quickie skirt I made on Sunday afternoon. I was itching to get something sewn up for me, and decided to do a remake a skirt I had repurposed in junior high. That skirt is still in my closet, though a bit tight and a little bit short. I still wore it to […]
